Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, who had made a bizarre comment about Michele Obama being a man, has again made the headline, and this time he commented on his billionaire son.
In a podcast, Errol Musk called his son a bad father who has been absent from his many children and also said that Elon would shoot him if heard.
On a recent Wide Awake podcast episode, Errol was asked whether his son is a good father, to which he responded, “No, he hasn’t been a good father. The first child was too much with nannies and died in the care of a nanny. If Elon hears this, he’s going to shoot me or something.”
Elon’s firstborn, Nevada Alexander, passed away at 10 weeks from sudden death syndrome, Independent reported.
“Then he had five children, each one had their own nanny. It was a weird situation. He didn’t spend enough time with them,” Errol added.
Errol, who had Elon with Maye Musk in 1971, discussed unusual consequences affecting both Elon’s and Kimball’s children.
“The result is the boys and Kimball’s two boys grew up not able to cross a street,” said Errol. “Even the street outside, my daughters would say ‘Dad, you won’t believe it. Elon’s kids and Kimball’s boys, they can’t cross the road. We have to hold their hands across the road when they’re like 14 years old, can’t cross the road.'”
The South African former engineer and emerald dealer suggested this upbringing influenced gender identity issues among the children.
“Elon’s got to deal with it. It’s, it’s a bit worrying,” said Errol.
Vivian Wilson, Elon’s transgender daughter, has become openly critical of her father. The 20-year-old has maintained distance since reaching adulthood. Her mother, Justine Musk, shares six children with Elon.
Elon Musk, father to 12 children, brings his young son X to various engagements in Washington, DC, including an Oval Office press conference with President Donald Trump.
Elon recently brought three children – X, Azure, and Strider – to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House. Grimes, his former partner, expressed concern about X’s public appearances, particularly at the press conference.
“He should not be in public like this,” she wrote on Musk’s social media platform X.
In November 2021, Elon welcomed twins, Strider and Azure, with Neuralink director Shivon Zilis. They had another child in 2024.
